Two Voices We Should Have Heeded!

 

Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament should be the center of every parish and the epicenter of every religious community.  Indeed, the Eucharist is to be the center of the universal Church and of all humanity.  Why? [Pope] Paul VI says, “Because beneath the veil of the Eucharistic elements is contained the Invisible Head of the Church, the Redeemer of the world, the center of all hearts, through whom all things are and through whom we exist.” [Mysterium Fidei, note 68].  Never before have we had such need of invigorating our faith in the Real Presence and putting that faith into practice.  Only Christ on earth can overcome the powers of evil that God in His mysterious providence has allowed to penetrate our day.

 Father John A. Hardon, S.J.

What Does It Mean To Be Humble?

 

Oh, To Have Such Faith!

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
